How to build a half-square antenna and let us look at the gain structure. Maybe a 40m band project. Ideal if you have some trees maybe? Callum.

Apart from the answer I give here, also be careful of your bonding between your mesh – and your ground connection. Each connection between the chicken wire joints would make a junction. Thousands of diode-like junctions on the ground under your antenna would be a noise machine. You have been warned 🙂

How quickly did my 1,000 feet / 300m or so of copper radials disappear in the grass? Days! Some good data here. Enjoy. Callum.

Using callsign M0XXT (for QSL purposes), I’ll be firing up the Signature 12.4, TS-990s and Acom 2000 for some fun and games today. NEXT WEEK, we will start later and see what 10m is like. CHeers from Middle England, Callum.

It’s because of the Exchange Rate. This means a 40m DX Commander Classic will be under $300 (this week) INCLUDING shipping. And there is NO DUTY and NO SALES TAX because it is under $800. Thank you! Callum.

This is a good demonstration. Listen to the difference yourself. Completely Change Your Ham Radio Station with a dedicated receive antenna. Let us compare TWO RX antennas (a small loop, a very LARGE loop) with a Quarter Wave vertical. No tricks, no frills. Just hard data – and your ears. Callum.

I am not doing a LIVE on HF this Friday, instead I will be at Newark’s National Hamfest visiting Martin Lynch (ML&S). Drop by the stand and say hi! Callum.
